I don't think so Nah, your assumption is incorrect. Netcraft reports last reboot and uptime using a mixture of TCP Timestamps and pings, which won't give you accurate results in this scenario. www.baa.com seems to be two hosts that are serving requests in a round-robin configuration. In that configuration you'd be able to patch and reboot one machine at a time without a loss of public service and with the uptime that is being reported by Netcraft unaffected. -- phil.
